Protein-packed lean shrimp really satisfies.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

　　

Marinade

2 cloves garlic, smashed

　　1 tablespoon olive oil

　　2 teaspoon fresh lime juice

　　1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

　　1 teaspoon dried oregano

　　1/2 teaspoon salt

　　1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

　　

Shrimp

8 bamboo skewers, 10 inches long, soaked in water 30 minutes

　　24 large shrimp (about 1 lb), peeled and deveined

　　1 small red onion

　　16 serrano chiles

　　24 cherry tomatoes

　　

Step 1

In a blender or mini food processor, process all marinade ingredients until smooth. Toss shrimp with marinade in a bowl to coat well. Set aside at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours. Cut onion into 8 wedges, then cut each wedge lengthwise into thirds. Thread 1 chile onto each skewer. (If you prefer metal skewers, be sure to spray them first with a vegetable-oil cooking spray so shrimp and vegetables don't stick.) Add 1 shrimp, a chunk of onion and a cherry tomato to each skewer; repeat twice. Finish each skewer with a second chile. Season skewers with salt.

　　

Step 2

Heat a cast-iron grill pan or an electric or gas grill over high heat. Cook skewers, covered, turning once, until shrimp are cooked through and onions are charred and just tender, about 5 minutes per side. (You can use a charcoal grill, but shrimp will cook faster.)
